The Urban Dao Child

Yang Dao heard the voice of the trial spirit but he did not react. After the last attack, when his blade dispersed into an ember and then turned the Daemon into ashes, his heart seemed to be lighter. He did not lose control and was able to maintain his sanity. In the last face-off with a Daemon in his sect grounds. Yang Dao felt his emotions in disarray and it was as if his head will explode from the vexation.

However, this time he could deal with it all in a calm manner, this was the greatest achievement for him. Yang Dao could be a called a bit cynical at this point but he was what he was. Everyone thought to be the better version of themselves, while only some were able to put aside the mundane thoughts and actually work on it.

As Yang Dao was lost in thoughts he did not realize that the Trial Spirit has sent him out of the isolated space. He just stood there in the center of the five groups with his eyes lost in the void. Cal wanted to shout out loud when Sun Eckhart said, "Do not disturb him. This is his epiphany."

His words surprised everyone, and they fell silent. Nobody knew when the epiphany will come to an end, and what it was about. However, the sect masters were aware that this time Yang Dao might have touched upon a revelation regarding his emotions. They could tell from the change in his temperament.

Sun Eckhart waved his hand and cast an isolation barrier around Yang Dao, and he said, "The disciples came outside the isolated space, and the Trial Spirit did not say anything more? What is this about?"

Lysa shook her head, and so did the others. They had no idea of what this situation was supposed to mean. This has never happened before. Just when they were about to discuss what was going on the voice of the trial spirit sounded.

"The trial of Pentagon has ended, and the five disciples are now presented with the title of Young Paragons. They will be the leading figures in the young talents of the five sects. The paragons were a group of people that fought against the Daemons. The five ancestors of the five forces had left their inheritance for the generation that would recognize the true meaning behind the trial and successfully pass the true trial.

None of the previous generations were able to do this. However, the drought has come to an end. Natalie Brookes will be the Alchemist Paragon. She will receive the inheritance of the ancestor of the Sweet Elixir Sect.

Seth Godwin will be the Titan Paragon, he will receive the inheritance left by the ancestor of the Titan Sect.

Hector will be recognized as the Unique Paragon, he will receive the inheritance of the ancestor of the Prestige School.

Bai Hu shall be called the Sword Paragon, the inheritance left by the ancestor of the immortal sword sect belongs to him.

Yang Dao was the candidate to claim the inheritance of the Sovereign sect, but his talents are already ahead of that inheritance. He will be called the Divine Paragon.

The rest of the disciples who accompanied the five paragons will have the responsibility to manage the youth forces in the future under the command of the paragons. This planet will be accessible to those who join this force for training and resource gathering. Now the trial of Pentagon comes to an end."

After the voice stopped, the four disciples, Natalie, Seth, Hector, and Bai Hu were all covered in a golden glow, and their bodies levitated in the void. The Sect Masters heard the announcement and could help but fill proud of their younger generation.

Sun Eckhart, on the other hand, had a bitter smile on his face. He did not know whether he should laugh at the fact that his 'disciple' surpassed the ancestor of his sect, or he should cry that they missed the chance to claim the inheritance.

Lyssa spoke up, "Sun, after this is all over, I invite your disciple to come over to my sect for a visit."

Sun Eckhart nodded and said, "It will depend on his choice. The boy has prior commitments. I cannot force him to visit you. But whenever, he decides to come over, I will personally drop him off."

The other three sect masters felt a twitch in the corner of their mouths when they found Lyssa taking the initiative. They also extended their invitation and the man replied to them with similar courtesy.

Shakti let out a low whistle and said, "Jing, someone sure became popular this time."

Yue Jing smiled brightly and nodded. She said, "This is good. But this guy dared to hide the fact that he was already at the peak of the golden core realm, I will beat him when he comes over."

Cal asked, "Are you sure, you can do that?" with evident doubt brimming from his eyes.

Yue Jing raised her head high and said, "You all might be afraid of him, but as my younger brother, he is afraid of me. Hmph."

The girl revealed her naughty side in front of these people and they were all amused by this fact. Shakti patted her on the back and said, "You grew up good my dear girl."

Yue Jing chuckled at her words. The atmosphere was jolly around the five camps. The five sect masters walked to a side and discussed a few things leaving the restrained disciples to mingle with each other. A lot of young men tried to approach the girls but they were all shunned away by the flower protectors of the same sect.

How could they let the good things go out of the house? In the meantime, the disciples inside the cocoons gradually absorbed all the inheritance and descended back to the ground. The sect masters called them over and interview them all about a lot of things.

The disciples did not shy away and they all did what they were asked. The sect masters only wanted to know what sort of trails they faced inside and there was nothing to hide from them. Sun Eckhart turned his head to gaze at the array, where Yang Dao was still immersed in his epiphany.

...

Inside the heavenly dao palace. Lisa, Mika, and Kiya were looking down at a basin filled with water. This basin reflected the image of Yang Dao, who wore an azure armor, and carried a sword with his long hair in disarray.

Kiya said, "I never expected him to look so adorable and gallant at the same time."

Mika nodded and said, "I am glad that his temperament changed this time. He is more communicative and expressive in this life than his last one."

Lisa nodded. Kiya looked up and asked, "Sister Lisa, do you want to say something?"

Lisa was always the quiet one among the three. She smiled softly and said, "Young Master has become so good at his sword skills. I wish I could match up to him."

Suddenly a deep voice was heard, "No one in existence can match up to his skills, other than Dao Yin. However, do not worry, when he comes over, he will understand that you all have done your best and will not despise you."

The deep voice belonged to none other than the old black turtle incarnate, Atsuji Kurogame. Lisa and the other two bowed to him and Mika asked, "Master Atsuji, why did the trial spirit not allow him to inherit the legacy left behind by the ancestor?"

Atsuji Kurogame smiled and replied, "That legacy will dim in front of the skills that he has, and will only slow him down, so when Feng Yun visited him inside the trial. She tweaked the trial spirit a little. Making it so."

The three ladies were surprised, Lisa said, "Madam Feng has it hard."

Atsuji Kurogame did not reply but only shook his head. He did not want to say that this was their duty to make sure that the path of the dao child remains undisturbed. The void was getting stronger with each day passing, an existence that defied the cycle of dao was growing stronger and they needed the Dao Child to grow stronger as well. Otherwise, all that they have done and tolerated, will be for nothing.

The balance between Dao and void was as crucial as the balance of light and dark. Dao stood for the balance of it all, but if there was nothing to counter it, dao itself will be imbalanced and that will leave to the downfall of everything.

...

Inside the array, Yang Dao blinked and came out of his epiphany. He found himself to be surrounded by an isolation array. He smiled at this and after gazing at the array he snapped his fingers, the array was solved just like that.

Sun Eckhart sensed his array breaking and was surprised. he had deliberately cast a saint-level array to protect the child but he did not expect it to be broken like this. When he turned his head, he found Yang Dao smiling in his direction. Hopelessly, the guy could only shake his head.

He asked, "Dao, how did you do that?"

Yang Dao skipped over to him as he said, "Master, I learned how to crack a saint level array inside the trial, you left all the runes inside the spirit energy and that was easier then finding the nodes and dissolving them."

Sun Eckhart nodded and said, "Let me introduce you to the fellow sect masters..."
